What is your Lee Enfield Holy Grail? That one Enfield you have or would just about give anything to have and why?
For me it’s the 7.62mm L42 sniper rifle. At one time it was a No4(T) but I managed to satisfy that desire a number of years ago. I have handled two or three L42’s so far but never managed to put the money together to acquire one.
Now as to why well I think the L42 is perhaps the ultimate evolution of the issue Lee Enfield. It was well past it’s prime when it was replaced in the early 90’s and for the most part did it’s job with WWII optics and actions that started there military service in the 40’s. Any rifle that can give 40+ years of service (if you count the time they spent as No.4(T)’s) and handle a caliber change can’t be all that bad.
Now how about you? This question has no wrong reply and everyone is entitled to there opinion so what is yours?
